Aydah
Bell was happy in her normalcy; she was never the class clown or the sports
hero, never the beauty queen or little Ms. Honor Student. One day, after a
pointless family mini-vacation, Aydah returns to school and finds that her
sheltered little world has turned upside-down. Besides the fact that she is
beginning to crave raw meat, people are also disappearing.
Suddenly,
an alarming disappearance in the quiet and serene city she calls home puts the
whole town into high-alert. One of Aydah’s schoolmates vanishes during the
weekend and is conveniently replaced by a newcomer. To Aydah’s surprise, the
new boy is the completely beautiful and oh-so mysterious Liam Bailey.
Aydah
finds herself drawn to Liam. He consumes her thoughts and she aches to be with
him. In the mix of passion, jealousy, and hatred that follows, Aydah is too
distracted to see the horrible fate headed straight for her.
Excerpts-
There
was so much pain. My skin was on fire and sweat dripped from every pore of my
body. There was nothing I could do to make it go away, nothing in the world
that could stop it. My flesh was being ripped from my bones, and my insides
were being torn out. I was dying … what else could it be? Nothing besides death
would feel so terrible. My head pounded and my brain ached. Hot pokers seared
into my eyes, and my ears throbbed with sharp, shooting pains.

For just
a moment more, his fingers continued to touch my forehead. He was perfectly
still. His eyes were riveted to my face, like he was memorizing every line,
every curve, with his fingertips and copying the image of my features into the
palm of his hand. When he lowered his hand slowly, the tips of his fingers
traced the bridge of my nose and followed down my jaw line. Frozen feathers,
velvety and invigorating, awakening my body with their soft tickling chill. He
cupped my chin in his hand and I could feel how powerful he was. He could bring
down a mountain, reducing it to dust, but he was also gentle. There was safety
in his stone caress and tenderness. The tips of his fingers rested beneath my
chin and lifted my head slightly. As he brought his face to mine, my heart
caught in my chest and my breath stopped completely. My head was a tornado of
want and need. The temperature of my skin began to boil, but Liam’s skin sent a
shiver down my spine. I was burning with fever, but shivering against the cold.

About the Author –
Emily Fogle was born and raised in Southern
California. Her dream and ultimate goal was to get her Master’s degree in English
and become a teacher with enough time to write, as well. However, she soon
found out that the best dreams often come true when they aren’t planned.
Instead of fulfilling her teaching goal, real life took over and she married
the man of her dreams. She now has an amazing 7 year old son and another
beautiful baby boy on the way.
She dedicates the majority of her time taking
care of her family, volunteering at her son’s school, and being a Cub Scout Den
leader. And though she loves every minute of it, the thought of being a writer
still tugs at her heart. So, after the busy days are done and everyone is
finally sleeping quietly, she squeezes in time for all the other loves in her
life: the characters running wild inside her head.
Now,
incredibly, her writing dream is also coming true. Her first novel, Dragon
Wars, is being published by Anchor Group. Emily feels sincerely blessed to have
been given so much in life and can’t wait to start the next chapter.
